One of the best episodes of the season for me. Surprised all the flashbacks happened this episode though
guy in one of my discords wrote a damn manifesto on Reddit about why this episode pissed him off today lmao. people really need to find other hobbies
The subreddit for the videogame is still posting memes about the "I'm going to be a dad" line like two weeks later, it's pathetic
That line is even better now with the context of this is Ellie’s chance to “do it better” than Joel. Love it.
It'll make sense, the second game greatly expanded the story compared to the first game. Plus there was much more potential in the world and lore we only got hints of, so I welcome it. They have PLENTY of content to cover without milking it.....I honestly felt 7 episodes was too short of a season for this one.
I don’t think it needs 4 seasons, but since we may never get a Last of Us 3. But with a 2 year gap in between seasons that means this story won’t even be finished until 2029. Whatever. Give us 4 seasons, I guess
Highly suggest checking out the latest podcast episode. They explain more on some changes made this episode from the game. Most notably the removal of Ellie finding the tape at the hospital. She still doesn't 100% know the truth once the porch scene starts.
The second game can be triple the length depending on how you play. 3 seasons to tell its story kind of seems like a lot, but isn't necessarily that farfetched.
I know it's against the rules but I feel like Pedro could've allowed the sopranos actor to see Moira and everyone would've been fine. Tho I guess the infected do move fast which would be scurry but tie him up or something idk. Not sure how else he thought that was gonna go over, making a promise and blatantly lying about it
Ngl I know that Ellie was pissed at Joel (and rightfully so), but it was kind of shitty of her to tell that to Catherine O'Hara's character. At least the way it was done anyways
I saw someone say that Joel changed his mind after Eugene was saying he was getting so cold, indicating he did not have as much time as they first thought.
